Homemade Fisheye Lens

Today I felt like making a fisheye lens using a door peep lens! There are a bunch of tutorials on the web showing how to do this, and after doing some research, I think I found the quickest way to share with you! All you need is a door lens, some tape, some drawer liner and a pvc bushing.

I used a 1 ½ x ½ inch SCH40 PVC (reducer) Bushing for the camera that I mounted the lens to. I used the reducer bushing because it already has a hole, so there’s no drilling. You will have to decide what diameter you will use based on your camera’s lens diameter. I’d recommend choosing a size slightly larger, so you can use the drawer liner to get the snug fit. (The second measurement in the bushing sizes is the hole size, ½ inch works perfect for this door lens)

This project turned out much better than I was expecting, I hope you get a chance to go out and make one yourself!
